New Patterns

Today, I used my Christmas cash to buy some super cute patterns both for me and for little miss Cupcake Katie. I love Whimsy Couture, and right now they are 3 for 18.00, so I took advantage of the price and purchased her Ladies' Pillowcase Top, Ladies' Peasant Top, and Over Tops and Dresses pinafore. They were sent to me super fast via email. I also bought Sis Boom's Megan Peasant Top and Dress pattern. So excited to be making stuff for me to wear! I feel like I have been pregnant for 3 years straight and am really looking forward to being back in normal clothes. For Katie, I got Romeo and May's Lucia Halter dress and I broke down and bought Izzy and Ivy's Macy Giggles Dress. They were both too cute that I just had to have them. Now I am torn as to which dress I should make for Katie's birthday next month. Here's a few pics of these lovely patterns:

Izzy and Ivy

Just found the cutest patterns at one of my new favorite online shops, Fairy Tale Frocks and Lollipops . They are by Izzy and Ivy, and they are precious, frilly, and very girlie, which is totally my sewing style. The Izzy and Ivy blog is having a give-away of either a pack of 6 patterns or an adorable ruffled bag. Head on over and check them out! Yay for giveaways!!!

Here are just two of the patterns available:
